Hi, So now i know how to import the content of the CSV file to database, however, before to import to database i do a simple test. in fact, i display in my browser all content of my CSV file. unfortunately, not all characters are displayed correctly. in PHP page include <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> but it does not help to display the Slovak Characters which are correctly display in EXCEL when i open the CSV file with it. i tried to display a standar slovak web page in my browser and it works perfectly well. So where could be the problem ? thanks a lot, -- Alain ------------------------------------ Windows XP SP2 PostgreSQL 8.1.4 Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.1
